FAREWELL. OLD YEAR.

To-day winds up the Old Year. Like
its nearly 5000 predecessors, it has
closed its books forever. The record is
made up, and what is written on its
pages shall be written still, and what is
unwritten shall be unwritten still. The
Old Year is a sealed sepulchre, and
there will be no angel to roll the stone
away until Eternity'S dawn.
Like all of its predecessors, the wings
of the Old Year have been laden with
its varied cargo of sweet and bitterness.
To some homes it has brought light; to
others darkness. To some hearts it has
b cen one of unallOyed pleasure; to
others it has been succession of sor-
rows. But whether light or dark in its
aspects. whether joyous or grievOus in
its effects, whether it has been a year
of Individual blessing or year of sor-
rowing, it is all one now. At midnight
the Old Year will be dead.
Vain are the regrets, few are the tears
That fall at the tomb Of the vanquished years.
The year has been one of national
blessing. The country has prOspered
in spite of many adverse conditions.
There has been an unYonted stringency
in money matters: yet, Notwithstanding
this fact, the business and industrial
operations Of the country have made a
marvellous increase over any preceding
T1i1nano hnilf in
1887 surpasses any former record. And
so it has been in almost every depart
ment of business and industrial life.
Thus it is the record of 1887 furnishes
the evidence that our national prosperity
rests upon foundation so solid that it
cannot be disturbed by the varying in
fiuences which upset other nations.
The year has been one of good gov
eminent, and more permanent estab-
hshment of law and order. The year
1887 will be memorable as the year in
which the first attempt was made on
American soil to raise the red flag of
anarchy in defiant rebellion against the
memorable as the year when Law tri-
umphed and Anarchy died bloody
death. Henceforth our American in
situations will rejoice in a strength
never before attained.
The year 1887 will be furthermore
noted as the year in which the people
gained their first decisive victory over
monopoly. The passage of the inter
state commerce law makes an epoch in
our history, inasmuch as it established
the principle that the government has
the right to control all things of its own
creation.
Our educational and religious prog
ress have kept even pace with all ma
terial advancement. The church and
the school house continue to be the ark
of the covenant, wherein are deposited
with sacred trust the hopes of our ma
tiOnal future.

MASHED WASHERS.

That is an interesting story with a
moral to it in this mornings GLOBE, of
the two young street Washers who came
to grief. The GLOBE regrets that it
was unable to learn the names of this
pair of graceless young scoundrels who
have no better employment than to go
out upon the streets insulting respecta-
BILE women. Fortunately one of the
scamps got his deserts at the hands of
the husband of the insulted lady, while
unfortunately the other one got away
without punishment. 1t is probably in
the power of the police and the city de-
tective force to run the rascalS down and
yet bring them to the bar of justice,
where they shall be made to answer for
the gross outrage they have perpetrated.
1t is due to the good name of our city
that ladies can walk the streets without
being subjected to the insults of street
Washers, and it is about time that an
example was being made of some of

with him ON the proposition that in a re-
vision of the tariff it shall be SO
adjusted as to afford Incidental
protection to American industries.
That is in exact harmony with the
declaration of the national Democratic
platform. 1t doesn't make any differ
enee how much the manufacturing in
duStries are protected, just so long as
bulk of the people are not oppressed for
the purposes of protection. 1t is just
there that we find the most iniquitouS
features of the existing tariff, and it is
the removal of those oppressive feat
ures that the Democratic party is de-
handing. If Mr.. LIND will stand by
his opinions, as expressed in his inter-
view with the GLOBE, we will have no
special fault to find with his tariff
record, for he will be compelled to act
in concert with the Democrats in con-
gress. If he doesn't stand by them he
will have an indignant constituency to
answer to when he returns home, for he
represents an agricultural district,
whose people have no particular love
for the pennsylvania idea"

THE DUKE,S MISSION.

The return to England from Rome of
the Duke of Norfolk has excited a good
deal of speculation. both as to the object
OF his mission and its results. 1t is pop
ularly supposed that the duke was sent
to Rome for the purpose of influencing
the Vatican, in consideration of the en-
dowment of a Catholic university, to-
ward aiding the Tory government in its
efforts TO coerce Ireland. The idea, it is
presumed, was that the Catholic clergy
in Ireland should be instructed, not
only to refrain from joining in the pa
triotic expressions of their countrymen,
but also by every mems in their power
as ministers of the church to stifle OppO-
sition to the policy of ruthless aggres-
sion instituted by the SALISBURY gov
ment.
1t is the general impression that the
duke utterly failed in his mission; that
the Vatican, whence diplomacy of the
highest order has more than once
emanated, was too shrewd to bring
about a contest between patriotism
and the church, and that it con-
sequently informed the Tories ac-
credited representative that the
church's mission was purely spiritual
and not political, disclaiming all right to
aid in any way the Tories coercive
policy. The fact that Archbishop
WALSH, of Dublin, one of the most tai
ented churchmen in Ireland, and at the
same time distinguished patriot, has
gone to Rome, is a further indication
that the rumored answer given the Duke
of Norfolk is correct.
The position taken by the Vatican in
the matter will secure general COM
mendation. 1t is not the province of
any church to interfere in secular things,
and if in such momentouS affair as the
struggle of an oppressed people for lib
erty the influence of the church should
be brought to bear at all, it certainly
should not be on the side of the oppres-
sor. There will be others beside the
people of Ireland who will be pleased
at the failure of the dukes mission.

A Good Business.

Visitor to st. Paul Hello! John,

didn't you?
St. Paul Citizen-Yes, just about.

out here"
Eyes, I've amassed quite a fortune"
"How much are you worth?"
''Oh, about S6,O00,OOO."
''How long have you been in bust
ness?"

THOSE RESOLUTIONS.

Perhaps you are preparing series of
resolutions to be pasted in your hat to-
morrow for your guidance during the
New Year, and perhaps you are not.
But whether or no, there is no doubt at
all that there are a good many resolu-
lions that any of us might make with
profit, provided we adhered to them,
which we probably would not. While
the minor resolutions regarding absti-
nence of various kinds will be made as
a matter of course, and will be broken
soon after equally as matter of course,
there is another resolution that every
citizen can make, should make, and
should adhere to.
He should resolve to cooperate with
his tellow-citlZens in advancing by
every means possible the interests of st.
Paul; and he should resolve, in order to
bring about that desirable cOnsumma-
ton, to give his time and attention to
matters of public moment. There has
been too often deplorable apathy eX-
hibited in st. Paul regarding matters
which, treated in the right way, would
have resulted greatly to the city's adj
vantage and incidentally to that of
every citizen, and though the spirit of
enterprise is by no means dead it has
occasionally slept.
There should be general Weakening
up, and every man should resolve that
the beginning of the new year will see
a determination to carry st. Paul in the
ensuing year even farther along the
highway of progress than she has trav-
eled in the one which ends to-day,
Whatever other resolutions are made
and shattered, that one should remain
firm and unbroken.

FUNNY FELLOWS.
Bribed by Gum.

Chicago Mail.
The head of one of the big concerns
down town, where more than 100 girls
are employed, was talking about extra
work and the willingness with which
some employees did it. Il can do more
with women help than 1 can with men,
when it comes to doing extra work or
working on holidays. OF course l
always pay extra for extra work, but
that is not what l am talking about.
When the extra labor is to be done go
to my forelady and tell her that want
ten, fifteen or twenty girls to do extra
work on certain day or hour. She
goes to her work she finds in front of
her 10 or Is cents worth of gum. l can
get more work out of a woman, if she
chews gum, by "a little device of this sort
than | can by promising pay"

1--WE WISH" says a Colorado editor,
s'to retract our statements made last
week that our esteemed fellow-citizen,
the Hon. Mr.. Plumley, never was known
to keep his promise. After reading the
item in question Mr.. Plumley happened
to remember that during the heat of the
recent political contest he promised to
kick us out to the fair grounds, and he
Immediately came up to the Office and
executed his promise. In fact, he not
but kept it up most of the way back,
and if he had not run out of breath we
think he would have been kicking us
yet. Mr.. Plumley is a gentleman of his
word, cultured and polished, and can
kick like an Asiatic elephant"

MIR. LIMBS TARIFF VIEWS.

The GLOBE is agreeably surprised to
find Mr.. LIND so nearly in accord with
the rest of the Minnesota delegation on
the subjects of tariff revision and rev.
enue reduction, and we now have hope
that when the roll will be called on the
bill preparing the way for tariff reform
during the present session there will be
but one voice from Minnesota, and that
will be in the affirmative. There has
been a popular impression that Mr..
LIND was so thorough a protectionist
he would not assent to any tariff re-
form measure that would be likely
to pass the house. But his inter-
view in yesterdays GLOBE leaves
quite different impression. This is the
first time we have had anything like an
authoritative declaration from Mr.
LIND concerning his tariff views; and
while he handles the subject a little
gingerly, and does not commit himself
to the principle of genuine tariff reform
with that alacrity we would like to see
exhibited, still, he has gone so much
farther in the proper direction than we
had anticipated that we feel moved to
extend to him our congratulations and
assure him of cordial welcome into
the ranks of the tariff reformerS. Mr..
LIND higgles a little over the PROPOSE
ton to put wool on the free list
and strains point in the opposite di-
rection with regard to the tariff on
books, yet we do not feel disposed to
quarrel with him on minor details like
these when he comes out in such pro-
nounced advocacy of the principle for
which we are contending. The mann
point made by Mr.. LIND is that the
necessity for the war tariff ceased fif-
teen years ago, and that it is the duty of
the government to reduce the revenues
to peace basis. Nor will We take issue

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

"Never mind the weather so the wind
doesn't blow" is an adage of the pro-
fOundest wisdom. But everybody did
mind the weather yesterday, because
the wind did blow and the snow did

JOHN ROACH.

John Roach was poor boy. He
began life with nothing except
brains and energy. He worked
hard and saved money. Twice he
lost his savings, but he was not
dismayed. He was not defeated by
a few vicissitudes. He labored on.
He branched out for himself again.
This time success came. His small
factory grew into one of the biggest
concerns in the country. He be-
came rich. Still he labored, and his
immense works turned out one
hundred and fourteen vessels, rep
resenting more than fifty million
dollars. He was the greatest ship.
builder in the country. Then his
troubles with the national admins.
tration came, and he retired from
business. All this time he lived
pleasantly and raised a happy
family. His sickness drew forth the
sympathy of all who knew him. His
old employees almost worshipped
him, and his death will be sincerely
and widely deplored. In his career
he showed what pluck and enter
prise and energy can do. He
labored for success, and got it.
